Thinking forward to those days of baking warm chocolate chip cookies for your little one? Well, you can bake baby's first cookie today! These teething cookies are tasty for baby, easy to make, and I have found them to be a great distraction for baby to sit and gnaw at while I cook or prepare his real meal.
Mix the following ingredients in a mixing bowl:
1/2 cup flour
1/2 cup oatmeal or rice cereal
1/4 cup apple juice
1/8 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 cup water
Cinnamon (as much as you feel comfortable adding - this is where the real flavor is)
Knead dough on a floured surface, adding extra flour as needed. Flatten out with a rolling pin {these will not rise, so knead as thin as you want your cookies to be}. Cut into shapes with a pizza cutter or cookie cutter.
Bake for 25-30 minutes, until hard. Store in an airtight container.
*Yields about 12-18 cookies, depending on the size and shape you cut
*Cookies freeze well
